## Overview
EmulatorPkg provides an environment where a UEFI environment can be
emulated under an environment where a full UEFI compatible
environment is not possible. (For example, running under an OS
where an OS process hosts the UEFI emulation environment.)

## Status
* Builds and runs under
* a posix-like environment with X windows
- Linux
- OS X
* Windows environment
- Win10 (verified)
- Win8 (not verified)
## How to Build & Run
**You can use the following command to build.**
* 32bit emulator in Windows:
`build -p EmulatorPkg\EmulatorPkg.dsc -t VS2017 -a IA32`
* 64bit emulator in Windows:
`build -p EmulatorPkg\EmulatorPkg.dsc -t VS2017 -a X64`
* 32bit emulator in Linux:
`build -p EmulatorPkg\EmulatorPkg.dsc -t GCC5 -a IA32`
* 64bit emulator in Linux:
`build -p EmulatorPkg\EmulatorPkg.dsc -t GCC5 -a X64`
**You can start/run the emulator using the following command:**
* 32bit emulator in Windows:
`cd Build\EmulatorIA32\DEBUG_VS2017\IA32\ && WinHost.exe`
* 64bit emulator in Windows:
`cd Build\EmulatorX64\DEBUG_VS2017\X64\ && WinHost.exe`
* 32bit emulator in Linux:
`cd Build/EmulatorIA32/DEBUG_GCC5/IA32/ && ./Host`
* 64bit emulator in Linux:
`cd Build/EmulatorX64/DEBUG_GCC5/X64/ && ./Host`
**On posix-like environment with the bash shell you can use EmulatorPkg/build.sh to simplify building and running
emulator.**
For example, to build + run:
`$ EmulatorPkg/build.sh`
`$ EmulatorPkg/build.sh run`
The build architecture will match your host machine's architecture.
On X64 host machines, you can build + run IA32 mode as well:
`$ EmulatorPkg/build.sh -a IA32`
`$ EmulatorPkg/build.sh -a IA32 run`
